The Yard is a range of single vineyard wines, sourcing all fruit from family vineyards in Western Australia's premier wine growing regions.
The Vintage: A cool wet winter followed by a cool spring and moderate temperatures during ripening produced fruit with spicy aromas, blue fruit flavours and soft tannins.
The Winemaking: Fruit was handpicked and sorted. Fermentation was carried out in small lot fermenters. Moderate extraction was aimed for to ensure that the vineyard fruit characters were fully expressed. The wine was then aged in new and 1 year old oak for 9-10 months. Bottling was carried out early to preserve fruit and give the wine at least ten months in bottle prior to release.
The Wine: A gentle and detailed wine which displays all of the hallmarks of the Great Southern region of WA and in particular the Frankland River region. Aromatic spice and blue fruit notes carry though to this softly textured wine which has ample but soft tannins. The balance and stucture of the wine should it age for the next 7-10 years.
Drink with: Traditional or spicy lamb dishes.
